How these approaches work online

Dr. Carter commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and trauma-focused methods in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that increase anxiety or depression, and it often includes concrete exercises to practice between meetings. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult feelings while taking meaningful action. Trauma-focused therapy offers ways to process and reduce the emotional impact of past traumatic events at a pace that feels manageable.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and the client's comfort.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and seeing nonverbal cues, while phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, real-time skill coaching, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use therapy tools in everyday life and keep momentum while working toward personal goals.
